Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘plugins/importexport/medra/classes/form/DOIExportSettingsForm.inc.php’ (include_path=’.:/web/htdocs/www.famagazine.it/home/ojs/classes:/web/htdocs/www.famagazine.it/home/ojs/pages:/web/htdocs/www.famagazine.it/home/ojs/lib/pkp:/web/htdocs/www.famagazine.it/home/ojs/lib/pkp/classes:/web/htdocs/www.famagazine.it/home/ojs/lib/pkp/pages:/web/htdocs/www.famagazine.it/home/ojs/lib/pkp/lib/adodb:/web/htdocs/www.famagazine.it/home/ojs/lib/pkp/lib/phputf8:/web/htdocs/www.famagazine.it/home/ojs/lib/pkp/lib/pqp/classes:/web/htdocs/www.famagazine.it/home/ojs/lib/pkp/lib/smarty:.:/php5.5/lib/php/’) in /web/htdocs/www.famagazine.it/home/ojs/lib/pkp/includes/functions.inc.php on line 32

Hi @dearqui,

Does plugins/importexport/medra/classes/form/DOIExportSettingsForm.inc.php exist?

Hi, Alec
no there isn’t. I’ve insert into directory from ojs/MedraSettingsForm.inc.php at master · unb-libraries/ojs · GitHub and appears the Medra Setting page.
after entering data in fields appears this error

Hi @dearqui,

You’ve probably gotten a copy that’s incompatible with your version of OJS. I’d suggest getting the version that’s distributed with the version of OJS that you’re running.

Hi, Alec, i’ve controlled the version of ojs and it’s 2.4.6. In the tar.gz archive that i’ve downloaded from PKP page the file MedraSettingsForm.inc.php have a 0 byte dimension.

Is it correct?

i’ve controlled into tar.gz archive and many other files have a 0 byte dimension:
in \plugins\importexport\medra\classes\ there are
DOIExportDom.inc.php
DOIExportPlugin.inc.php
PubObjectCache.inc.php

thanks

Hi @dearqui,

What program are you using to open the archive?

I’ve tryed with winzip and 7-zip. The problem may be that i’ve decompressed the archive in windows and after transferred the file by FTP with Filezilla.
there is a way to decompress the files directly to the web server ?

Hi @dearqui,

I haven’t tried Filezilla, but 7zip is known not to work with hard links in .tar.gz files:

I’d suggest using a different program.

If you have SSH access to the server, you can use the tar utility there to decompress the files.

Hi, Alec,
unfortunately the web server does’t have ssh access. i’ve try to downloaded the ojs 3.0 version and with 7-zip dont’l look any 0 byte dimension files. Is it possible?
meanwhile I am continuing to seek another solution.

Hi @dearqui,

I would suggest using a different program than 7-zip. 7-zip is known not to work with hard links in tar files.

Hi, Alec,
i’ve found Tartool that is a specific utility for decompress tar.gz archive in windows.
What do you advise me to do?
install again or copy the 0 byte dimension files?

regards

Hi @dearqui,

I’d suggest just copying the proper versions over the 0-byte files.
